As we plan to return to school in whatever form that may take, supporting our most vulnerable students who have impulse control issues and social, emotional, and behavioral concerns will present educators with a variety of new challenges.

How do we prepare to support these students and plan for and respond to those challenges in creative ways? How do we maintain a safe environment for staff and students? How do we meet the requirements of Rule 4500 when working with students whose behavior may require physical management or seclusion?

This web-based forum will provide an opportunity for facilitated small group discussions. We will ask participants to share their thinking and plans. It will primarily be an opportunity for discussion, sharing of ideas, and problem solving by educators from schools throughout Vermont.
